Question 904556: At a certain place the freeway is directly next to and parallel to the railway line. Two cars on
the freeway are travelling in the same direction as the train. The one car is moving at 1.5 times
the speed of the other. At a certain instant the drivers of both cars are simultaneously directly
next to the rearmost point of the train. The slower car takes 60 seconds to reach the front point
of the train. The train itself takes 30 seconds to cover a distance equal to its own length. If the
train and the cars each travel at a constant speed, how long will it take the faster car to reach
the front point of the train?
